The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 76 Kongming Lantern

"It feels so bad to spend 100 yuan just to hear auspicious words." Lin Shuwen muttered as she put on her mask after coming out of the temple.

"I think it's worth it. Didn't you laugh very happily just now?"

"Nonsense, I didn't! I was just a little happy."

"Okay, okay, then Miss Lin, can you hold my hand for the sake of seeing me make you a little happy?"

"Seeing as you are so sensible and invited me to dinner today, let me fulfill your wish!" After saying this, Lin Shuwen took the initiative to hold Luo Ming's hand.

Luo Ming shook hands with his back, and the two of them changed from holding hands to interlocking their fingers.

Generally speaking, boys' body temperature is higher than that of girls.

Their palms were facing each other. One felt cool and comfortable, while the other felt hot and warm.

"You took advantage of me again. Why did you agree to hold hands and become intertwined?"

"If there is an advantage, don't take advantage of it."

"Huh o(^｀)o"

"You're wearing a mask! I can't see you pouting, and it's all in vain."

"you"

"Longhua Suzhai has arrived." Before Lin Shuwen finished speaking, Luo Ming pointed to the room in front of her with her other finger and said.

"There are quite a lot of people."

"Let's go in and have a look. If it doesn't work, we can buy some vegetarian food and go back to eat."

Lin Shuwen nodded and walked into Longhua Suzhai with Luo Ming.

The two came and walked around the room, and found that a corner seat against the wall was empty. Lin Shuwen could sit with her back to the crowd without worrying about being photographed.

After choosing their seats, the two went to order food.

"Eh? The noodles here are so cheap! A bowl of Luohan noodles costs 15 yuan, and cold dishes cost 10 yuan. Xuhui actually wants such cheap noodles." Lin Shuwen sighed as she looked at the menu.

"Not only is it cheap, look at the line at the bottom, eat the noodles first and pay later."

“With so many people and so many tables, there must be someone skipping the bill, right?”

"Perhaps you have taken this situation into consideration? There are always inconveniences when people go out. This Longhua Suzhai is located in Longhua Temple. Buddha shouldn't mind making it easier for people who encounter difficulties, right?"

Lin Shuwen thought about it too.

"Besides, I guess I don't expect to make any money here. Look at this coffee. The clear coffee is called Wuyou and the oatmeal coffee is called Shanyuan. They are not cheap.

The remaining drinks cost 25 yuan a cup. These drinks alone can make a lot of money. "

"It seems that this monk also has a lot of business acumen!"

"This is called rational use of resources."

After speaking, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen ordered a meal together, a bowl of plain noodles and cold dishes each, and they each ordered a cup of Wuyou.

After ordering the meal, Luo Ming asked Lin Shuwen to go over and sit down first while he waited for the noodles to be prepared and served.

"This is just a cold dish!" Lin Shuwen couldn't help complaining as she looked at the two side dishes on the plate.

The plate is not big and is divided into two parts. One part is larger than the lid of the thermos cup, and two side dishes are placed on each part.

One is vegetarian duck, the other is pickled cucumber slices, both are very small.

"Such a small item sells for 10 yuan. It seems that only noodles are really not profitable here."

"That's true. When I was serving the noodles, the chef told me that I could refill the noodles and soup as much as I wanted."

Lin Shuwen was speechless when she heard this. Today she finally knew how much the kindness of Longhua Temple was worth.

A bowl of Luo Han noodles is worth 15 yuan, which is the value of their kindness.

Lin Shuwen picked up her chopsticks and rummaged through the bowl, and found that although the noodles were plain noodles, they were quite rich in ingredients, including tofu skin, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, oily gluten, and the bean knots were surprisingly good except that they didn't smell fishy.

Lin Shuwen weighed the soup with a spoon and took a sip: "This soup is so strange! It's actually sweet, the MSG taste is stronger, it has that fresh and sweet feeling."

Hearing this, Luo Ming also picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup and then echoed: "It's true."    "I don't like the taste very much, just put some chili pepper in it." As she said that, Lin Shuwen opened a small aluminum box on the table and dug into it. Put a small spoonful of chili into the bowl.

Luo Ming also followed suit.

With the addition of chili powder, the taste will be much better.

After eating noodles, it was already dark outside.

Outside the temple, Luo Ming saw bits of fire flying into the sky.

"Sure enough, there is also a reserved project for placing Kongming lanterns outside Longhua Temple in this life!" Luo Ming thought in his heart.

Lin Shuwen also noticed the lights floating in the air, and she asked curiously: "Luo Ming, what is that?"

"It should be the Kongming Lantern! Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Okay!"

Luo Ming heard this and took Lin Shuwen's hand. Lin Shuwen struggled for a while but to no avail.

That's it.

The two came outside the temple and saw a stall with Kongming lanterns at a glance.

The stall owner is not a monk, but an old man, who seems to be a resident of the surrounding area.

"Uncle, how do you sell Kongming Lanterns?"

"This ordinary Kongming lantern costs three pieces, the thickened one costs five, the thick one with colorful pictures costs eight, and the animal-shaped one costs ten."

"Which one does Wenwen want?" Luo Ming turned around and asked.

Lin Shuwen heard this and knelt down to take a look, and picked out a rabbit-shaped Kongming Lantern.

Luo Ming paid the money decisively.

"Young man, don't you want a pen?" The uncle stopped Luo Ming and asked.

"Pen?"

"Yes! Otherwise, why would you write wishes on the Kongming Lantern?"

"Um, how much does it cost for one?"

"Twenty dollars."

Luo Ming looked down at the pens that could buy 29.9 pens for 100 on Duoduo and fell silent.

In the end, Luo Ming paid for a pen, paying for it and delivering it at the same time.

"Uncle, you are really good at business."

"Just make some hard-earned money." The uncle said with a smile.

"Young man, since you have no intention of bargaining, I will point you to a good place. When you and your girlfriend go out from Longhua Temple and go east on the road, you will see a gap.

Going down from the gap, there is a small river. There are no people there. You can place the Kongming Lantern there. "

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain!
  "Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, just come and take care of my business next time."

"Next time definitely!"

After speaking, Luo Ming took Lin Shuwen's hand and walked east as the uncle said.

The two of them walked about 100 meters before they saw the gap that the uncle mentioned. They went down the gap and saw a small river, with a few small lights on the riverside.

"It's such a quiet atmosphere. It should be suitable for fishing here." Lin Shuwen sighed.

"Suitable for fishing?" Luo Ming smiled faintly, then raised his hand and pointed: "Obviously he is fishing!"

"Ah? Is there anyone there?" Lin Shuwen looked in the direction Luo Ming pointed, and sure enough she saw several fishermen with emergency lights on their heads, fishing boxes and chairs, and well-equipped fisherman.

Lin Shuwen was speechless: "It turns out the light we saw when we came down was not the Kongming Lantern!"
